This exquisite vintage vase showcases the artistry of Mexican Tonalá pottery, where traditional folk motifs meet naturalistic craftsmanship. Hand-thrown from speckled clay, it features a raised and hand-painted design of a stylized bird amid flowers and foliage, rendered in deep cobalt blue, sienna, and forest green glazes.
The earthy speckle of the ceramic body and the fluid painterly technique reflect the distinctive Tonalá aesthetic — a celebration of flora and fauna in the rustic elegance of natural clay. Signed “Mex.” on the underside, this piece embodies both the heritage and artistry of Mexico’s most celebrated ceramic tradition.
